When the cursor changes, say, between an I-bar and an arrow (moving onto the title bar), the cursor is likely (but not always) to jump to an unexpected position on the screen. Clicking on title bars will do something similar. The effect is more noticable if you attempt to move windows arround. Killing moused causes the problem to simply vanish. >How -current ?? 961004-SNAP is what the kernel reports, or perhaps a day or two later - only a week or so old max.

This is a 3 button mouse also, but with switching from microsoft and mouse systems mode available (but no middle button in microsoft mode, so I tend not to use it that way). Incidently, is there a software interface to moused available to applications?
